RAAAAAAHHH he's back from exercise mountain rat so it means I can msg/call him again! WHEEE. I'm superduper happy :) -bounce-

Oh and I'm damn stunned by Brazil's early exit! That renders my Germany-Brazil final theory totally inaccurate bah. I mean, who would've thought that France with all their geriatrics would upstage the samba kings? I mean, look at Brazil. Their team (apart from Fat Ron) are really quite a skilful and young team with the likes of Kaka (!!!), Ronaldinho etc. Up against the older French team (Zidane, Thuram) you'd expect them to have it easy, but noooooo. That means I can't watch fancyfootwork anymore. Poo.

Argentina, Holland, Spain, England (seee! I told you they were gonna go out), Ukraine, Czech Republic, Australia... and now Brazil. It's strange having so many powerhouses out, of which Argentina & Brazil were actually hot favourites.. Now we've got Italy, France, Portugal, Germany in the semis and it's tough to say who's gonna win cos all of them have got great squads.

As for England.. I can't believe people are actually SURPRISED to see them get kicked out. On my part, I'm surprised that they actually got that far. They said that Rooney was supposed to be the one to help them win the cup, but the mother of ironies came when he played a part in getting them OUT by lasting only 62 minutes with a typical act of brainlessness, reducing England to 10 men. Flops of the England squad: Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Frank Lampard, John Terry. No question. Plus, now they've got Becks stepping down as skipper. Not a pretty sight, I must say. Who's to blame? Maybe after Sven leaves, things will be better?

For now, it's GO GERMANYYY woohoo :)
